Please Believe Me (demo)

[Chorus]
Please believe me, I didn't know
Her huggin' and kissin' me would hurt you so
Please believe me, I never lied
I only tried and tried and tried to make you understand

[Verse 1]
I didn't explain at first
But that was for you
You might have believed the worst
And the worst wasn't true
I did, I did, I swear, I did it all for you

[Verse 2]
When people started talkin'
I sent my friends to you
And they put out the story
She was just my Cousin Sue
You heard from hidden sources
A story close to mine
'Til they misspoke and told you
Cousin Sue was 89

[Chorus]
Please believe me though what I say
May soon be inoperative, it's true today
Please believe me, I'm very cool
At that point in time as I recall I did it all for you

[Verse 3]
Then someone misinformed you
There was proof in black and white
But there aren't any letters
Cousin Sue can't even write
It was vicious innuendo
That convinced you I had sinned
But I'd never leave you twisting
Slowly, slowly in the wind

[Chorus]
Please believe me, I'm stayin' here
The fact that I'm true to you is perfectly clear
Please believe me, you're just a kid
Therefore, you must believe I did, I did it all for you

[Verse 4]
It was wrong for you to ask them
At the Watergate Hotel
If Sue and I had been there
It was wrong for them to tell
I know you'll understand it
When the facts are yours to see
I swear I never touched her
She was makin' love to me

[Chorus]
Please believe me, I love you a lot
I'm gonna take care of you if you like it or not
Please believe me, you'll never get rid
Of someone who did, he did, I swear, I did it all for you
